Hotel Villa Paradiso

You'll feel in seventh heaven as you admire the view across the Bay of Naxos and Mount Etna from the sixth-floor terrace at Hotel Villa Paradiso.

This heavenly property dates back to 1892 and is just a few metres from the historic centre of Taormina. It combines a classic design with a range of modern comforts, such as Wi-Fi access and Satellite TV. Each room boasts period furniture and original works of art, plus a private balcony or terrace.

At Villa Paradiso the bar is open 24 hours a day. You will find a cosy lounge with a well-stocked library and a beautiful veranda, which overlooks the gardens. During the summer, a free shuttle service takes you to a partner hotel, 10 minutes away, where you can take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool or have a game of tennis.

Back at the villa you can end your day in style with a romantic candlelit dinner at the restaurant. Set on the sixth floor, it boasts an unforgettable view.
